He noted two quotations had been received and the quotation of Don Streicher Guns, Inc. was the low quotation. - In discussion of the resolution, Councilmember Fignar inquired whether the new uns would replace the Police Department's old g P p guns. The City Manager stated that most of the existing guns in the Police Department are blue steel and are easily corroded. He noted some are relatively new and others are more than 20 years old and indicated the purchase of the new guns would replace all the existing guns in the Department, Councilmember Scott inquired what would be done with the old guns. The Chief of Police stated the old guns would be declared surplus and would be sold at auction. He'noted officers asked to be able to purchase their old weapon at the highest bid amount. Councilmember Kuefler questioned how the bids would be undertaken. The City Manager explained the bids would be made by gun dealers only and not to the general public.in accordance with City Ordinances and State laws. RESOLUTION NO. 79 -277 Member Bill Fignar introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption:' RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE PURCHASE OF THIRTY -FIVE (35) HAND GUNS FOR THE BROOKLYN CENTER POLICE DEPARTMENT f The motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was duly seconded by member Tony.

The City Manager introduced a resolution, authorizing a joint powers agreement for an Inter- Agency Special Investigation Squad. He referred the 'Council to the joint powers agreement for the Inter- Agency Special Investigation Squad and explained the modifications requested by the City Attorney had been implemented in the current joint powers agreement. He also noted the Council had been sent information regarding the Council's previous inquiries regarding their concern that one police department may be overburdened with an inordinate amount of work in the squad and also how the investigation squad approach had been undertaken in other locations. 12 -3 -79 -3 The City Manager explained the responsibility of committing manpower to the Inter- Agency Special - Investigation Squad would be done by the local police agency.' He noted the squad is jointly governed by the local agency and the squad leader. He stated that the City can refuse to commit manpower to any situation it chooses. He explained the executive committee of the Inter - Agency Special Investigation Squad will be implementing, in its bylaws, the same officers would hot be put on assignment more than once in any given year.: He noted this statement is not currently in the joint powers agreement but it will be put in the bylaws by the executive committee He explained the request for manpower for the squad goes directly to the -local Chief and that he has the option of refusing to supply manpower to the squad without showing any cause, Councilmember Kuefler commented that he thought the concept of the squad was very good and that it sounded like it would be a cost effective program:_ Councilmember Fignar inquired how often these types of squads had been pulled together in the past. The Chief of Police explained that a similar squad in Kansas City was designed primarily for organized crime and was activated as many as fifteen times per year. Councilmember Fignar requested the City Attorney to review what changes had been made in the final draft of the joint ; powers agreement. The City Attorney noted he had not worked on this project and was not able to comment. The City Manager explained the changes were primarily related to voting on the executive board, changing the vote required from a- unanimous vote of the board to a majority vote of the board to revoke the implementation of the squad. He also indicated the current joint powers agreement made specific reference to the State Statute governing authorization for joint powers agreements.

The City Manager introduced three resolutions, which were not on the agenda, and which would authorize the purchase of grass seed. , He explained that all bids for the grass seed were part of the Hennepin County purchasing agreement. He explained there were three. resolutions authorizing the purchase of grass seed, one for the purchase of 8,000 pounds of grass seed, one for the purchase of 3,000 pounds of grass seed and one for the purchase of 2,500 pounds of annual ryegrass. He recommended the quotation of Northrup King Company in the amount of $10,480 be accepted for the purchase of 8,000 pounds of grass seed and the quotation of Tessman Seed Company in the amount of $3,210 be accepted for the purchase of 3,000 pounds of grass seed, and the quotation of Barzen of Minneapolis, Inc. in the amount of $2,875 be accepted for the purchase of 2,500 pounds of annual ryegrass.

He referred the Council to a memorandum which recommended City Council meeting dates for 1980 which would avoid the `numerous Monday holidays upon which official business cannot be conducted. He explained that the list of recommended City Council' meeting dates for '1980 will be presented as an agenda item at the next Council meeting and he asked the Council to note any conflicts they may have with the recom- mended dates. Councilmember Kuefler noted that the December l Council meeting date may be in conflict with National League of Cities Conference in 1980. The City Manager explained he would, check on these dates and determined if there is any conflict.

APPOINTMENTS TO CITY COMMISSIONS The City Manager explained that Councilmember Lhotka had yet been unable to reach Joyce Tolve whose appointment to the Human Rights Commission is expiring on December 31, 1979. Councilmember Fignar noted that Ms. Tolve 12 -3 -79 -6- had indicated to him she had intended to resign from the Commission. The City Manager also noted that Mr. Al Weyrauch had requested that he not be reappointed as Chairman of the Human Rights Commission but that he would be willing to serve as a member of the Commission. Councilmember Kuefler noted that Lea Hickman had submitted a letter of resignation to the Park and Recreation Commission. He explained that Dawn Kiefer, the other member whose term expires on December 31, 1979, will most likely continue to serve for another term. Councilme Scott noted that both Conservation Commission members whose_ terms are expiring on December 31, 1979 will continue to serve for another term. Councilmember Fignar explained that Pat Weitzel had submitted a- letter of resignation to the Housing Commission as she is now a full time student. Mayor Nyquist stated that he believes Chairman Pierce, of the Planning Commission will be leaving the City, which will create a vacancy for that position on the Planning Commission. The Director of Planning and Inspec- tion noted that Chairman Pierce has not as yet submitted his resignation to the Commission. He explained that all three Planning Commission members - whose appointments will expire on December 31, -1979 have 'expressed an interest to serve another term on the Commission. Mayor Nyquist requested Mary Jane Gustafson, editor of the Brooklyn Center Post, to request in the Brooklyn Center Post, that persons writing letters to the Mayor or Council please sign their letters. The Mayor then proceeded to read an anonymous letter received by him regarding cars with expired license plates in the Brookdale Ten Apartment complex parking lot. PARK BOND ISSUE: PROSPECTIVE STEERING COMMITTEE MEMBERS Councilmember Kuefler requested that the Council submit names of persons interested to serve on the steering committee for the promotion of the park bond issue. He stated that he would like to 'receive at least one name from each Council member and that the Park and Recreation Commission was also involved in obtaining prospective members for the steering committee. GRADE PROBLEM - -57TH AND LYNDALE The City Manager introduced an item which was not on the agenda and referred_ the Council to a letter from the Director of Public Works to the District Traffic Engineer regarding a grade problem at 57th and Lyndale. He explained that the bridge project on 57th was now completed and had been turned over to the City, by the State, to maintain. He noted the problem was that the grade on 57th, on the approach to Lyndale Avenue, is very steep and that it will be very difficult for the City to safely maintain this portion of the roadway when there are slippery road conditions. He noted that the grade is approximately 8.86% which is an extremely sharp grade on the approach to Lyndale Avenue. The City Manager explained the letter from the Director of Public Works indicates to the District Traffic Engineer that the City of Brooklyn Center - cannot safely maintain this portion of the roadway and that the following options had been presented to discuss with the Minnesota Department of Transportation: 12 -3 -79 - y 1. Do nothing with the grade problem and attempt to live with conditions as they are. 2. Reconstruct the intersection at 57th and Lyndale. The Minnesota Department of Transportation has stated that it may be too late to pursue this option. .3.' Close the bridge and re- establish a bypass which was in use during construction of the bridge this past summer. 4. Close the bridge entirely. 5. Leave the bridge open for westbound traffic only, The City Manager explained that of all the options, the District Traffic Engineer was in favor of option number five over the others. Mayor Nyquist inquired whether there would be any potential liability for the City or the State in the event of an accident as a result of the grade problem. The City Manager explained that Lyndale will eventually be reconstructed_ and there will be a right turn access, onto Lyndale from 57th and not a "T intersection as is currently in existence. He explained that there is a potential for a very serious accident given the present conditions of the approach to Lyndale Avenue. He explained further that he feels the City should not accept responsibility for the grade problem since it is the 'result of the State's design. Councilmember Fignar questioned whether or not the use of signs could help the problem. The Director of Public Works explained that he feels the use of signs will not solve the problem. The City Attorney noted that if the condition is as bad as explained by the Director of Public Works, signs will not likely help and that the City will probably be sued if there is a serious accident at the intersection. The City Attorney inquired what mechanism is used for assuming the maintenance of roadways. The Director of Public Works noted that this project has been turned back to the City for maintenance. Councilmember'Kuefler questioned whether the grade was steeper than that at the Camden Avenue bridge The Director of Public Works explained that the grade was steeper and that there was also a poorer sight distance at the 57th and Lyndale site. Councilmember Kuefler questioned: whether or not the City could install three -way stop signs at the intersection. He explained that he thinks it.'is a problem to reroute' traffic through interior residential neighborhoods. The City Manager explained the staff will return to the Council with more information when the State again discusses the problem with the City staff. The Director of Public Works noted that the final design of the project will eliminate the "T intersection completely and replace it with `a through, situation rather than a stop situation off 57th. Councilmember Scott questioned what the City's solution to the problem would be. The Director of Public Works noted that the City can barricade the roadway if the situ- ation becomes too hazardous. INDUSTRIAL REVENUE BONDS Mayor Nyquist introduced an item for discussion which was not on the agenda and explained that the discussion of industrial revenue bonds was taken off the agenda because Councilmember Lhotka had requested that no policy decisions L 12 -3 -79 -8 be made on industrial revenue bonds in his absence. The City Manager noted that another industrial revenue bond proposal for a E location behind the Super Valu store has -been received recently. The City Manager explained that, in his opinion, the existing policy on industrial revenue bonds has certain weaknesses. He noted the City initially used industrial revenue bonds to address the problem development areas in the City's guide plan. He stated the Council revised this approach to establish a dollar limit on industrial revenue bond projects. He explained, in his opinion,.the weakness arose where a redevelopment project in a problem area could be proposed and may go over the dollar limit established.by the Council.- He suggested that redevelopment projects in such problem areas be excluded from the dollar limit primarily because of the importance of ` redevelopment within the City. Councilmember Kuefler stated that at the recent National League of Cities Conference he tried to get a feel for what was happening in redevelopment in other cities across the country. He stated he found cities advocating a cooperation between business, citizens, and government in development and redevelopment projects. He noted that Brooklyn Center does not have an agreement with the business community on the priorities for projects like some other cities have. He suggested that some type of group be started which would open up a dialogue between government, residents, and the business community otherwise, the City can only react to proposals coming before the Council and that many of the proposals have been intro - duced simply because of the high interest rates now in effect. He noted that the City should address the issue of the use of government bonding and that business, residents, and government should jointly agree on priorities for redevelopment and development. He suggested a forum be developed to discuss these problems. He explained he feels that we can get ideas from other cities involved in these types of programs. Mayor Nyquist questioned Councilmember Kuefler regarding what kind of format he was suggesting. Councilmember Kuefler referred to several brochures he had received at the National League of Cities Conference outlining methodoligies for creating such a program. He also noted the Cities of Richfield and Golden Valley would be possible examples of infor- mation sources for redevelopment and development projects. Councilmember Kuefler inquired whether the Chamber has had an opportunity to review the City's proposed Comprehensive Plan. The Director of Planning and Inspection explained that'the Chamber has received a copy of the plan and noted that their primary interest was along Brooklyn Boulevard. Councilmember Kuefler explained he feels the City should involve business with the discussion of the overall Comprehensive Plan. He suggested the Comprehensive Plan is a good place to start to develop a dialogue with the business community. Councilmember Scott explained that she agrees with the concept and feels that business should be involved with any discussion of development or redevelopment within the City. She also noted that she likes the tax increment concept over the industrial revenue bond approach to redevelop- 12-3-79 -9- ment. She explained that she feels the City should have input on community P Y P Y needs before we go ahead with redevelopment projects. Councilmember Fignar commented it is his understanding that the dollar limit on industrial revenue bonds is self- imposed and that the City has the option of changing that limit. He noted that the City of Bloomington has chanced the dollar limit for industrial revenue bonds in that community. The ,City Manager noted that Bloomington's policy has indeed become liberalized with regard to the dollar amount. Councilmember Fignar explained that the limit the Council has set may now be prohibitive and that we should consider raising the limit in our discussion of redevelopment and development within the City. Mayor Nyquist noted that he felt the consensus of the Council was to approach the Chamber of Commerce regarding a discussion of redevelopment and develop- ment within the City. - Councilmember Scott volunteered herself as a liaison to beginning a dialogue with the Chamber regarding the development and redevelopment projects for the City. She also suggested a temporary moratorium on the issuance of industrial revenue bonds until a committee could be set 'up to discuss redevelopment within the City, possibly as soon as the first part of January, 1980. The City Manager explained that the City staff has kept the Chamber informed of current redevelopment and development goings on within the City and that he has attended Chamber board meetings to keep the Chamber informed. Councilmember Kuefler stated that it is his feeling that we should work in concert with the Chamber and community in any discussion of proposed redevelop- ment for the City. The City Manager noted that the hearing dates for the Swenson Carriage House project have already been set. Councilmember Kuefler replied that., in good faith we should go through with this project. A- representative of the Chamber of Commerce,, present in the audience, addressed the Council and noted that the Chamber would be happy to form a committee to discuss redevelopment for the City if a decision could be made with regard to a reasonable time limit set for the determination of redevelopment' priorities. Councilmember Fignar questioned whether we could now set a target date. The City Manager explained that the committee to discuss the redevelopment for the City should be given a specific charge and then be allowed to establish a time line for the discussion and development of recommended priorities for redevelopment within the City. REPORT ON NATIONAL LEAGUE OF CITIES CONFERENCE Councilmember Kuefler requested that he address the Council regarding the recent National League of Cities Conference he attended in Las Vegas, Nevada. He noted that there were over 4,000 conventioneers at the conference and that he would like to see the City more aggressive in its attendance of these types of sessions.' He noted that this type of conference was oriented towards workshops and explained that he has several' documents" available related to various workshops conducted at the convention. a 12 -3 -79 -10- LICENSES There was a motion by Councilmember Scott and seconded by Councilmember Kuefler to approve the following list of licenses CHRISTMAS TREE SALES LICENSE P.Q.T.

I -94 Reconstnwtion Traffic Detours During the past several ronths, we have had meetings with IMOrT =to review details of the design for the improvement of 1 -94 betw Brooklyn Boulevard (T.H. 152) and Lyxidale Avenue (T.H. 169 -252) One element of this project which requires detailed consideration is detourixxi of Humboldt Avenue and T.H. 100 traffic during the tiro that that interchanre is being reconstructed. Because this traffic mst be detoured to local streets (Freeway Boulevard, Shingle Creek Parkway, Sumizst Drive, and John Martin Drive) there is a need to review traffic volume data and develop operational cor_cepts. Prel considerations suggest the possible reed for temporary arid. /or permanent traffic signals on Shingle Creel- Parkway at Sutrit Drive and /or at Freeway Boulevard. 14OT will assume primary responsibility for this, but they are receptive to the City's input and cooperation. Because Short-Elliott-Hendrickson, Inc. are currently developing detailed traffic analyses and construction plans and specs for the Humboldt Avenue/Freeway Boulevard intersection, this firm is in the best position to provide the additional services we need at this time. They have estimated that the cost for their services or this work will not exceed $2,000. 2. Shingle Creek Parkway Intersection Gecmetrics Another directly- relate project is the proposed construction of Shingle Creek Parkway fran 1-94 to 69th Avenue (C.R.130) scheduled for 1980. Because this roadway will carry heavy traffic rsoveizents, and because heavy turn- ing movements can be ,anticipated at the mior intersections along this street, it is very important that w+e.design ,the intersection with proper geometrics (i . e., turning radii, lengths of . turn _lanes, etc.) . Again, I re=mend that we employ E. H. to develop up-to -date traffic forecasts and make recomn>en ations for intersection geometrics. Their estimate of the cost "Ice SQ.kcticg ill one December 13, 1979 Mario to Gerald Splinter Page 2 of 2 Pages for this service is Mt. to exceed $1,500. I feel this is a very worthwhile investment. A resolution authorizing you to enter into an agreement with S.E.H. covering both of these areas is attached, for consideration by the City Council.

MEMORANDUM TO: Gerald Splinter, City Manager FROM: Tom Bublitz, Administrative Assistant DATE: December 14, 1979 SUBJECT: STATUS AND ACTIVITIES OF THE NORTHWEST SUBURBS CABLE COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION The attached document titled "Report and Recommendations of the Brooklyn Center Needs Assessment Committee" is the compilation of data gathered from community representatives in the City and is intended to assess the cable communication needs of the City of Brooklyn Center. The results of the Brooklyn Center needs assessment survey has been combined with those of the other eight Cable Commission member cities in the document titled "Northwest Suburbs Cable Communications Commission - Statement of Communication Needs ". In order for the franchising process to continue, State law requires that a resolution be passed by the respective City Councils of the member cities in the Northwest Suburbs Cable Communications Commission which accepts and approves the report and recommendations of the Needs Assessment Committee and statement of communication needs of the North- west Suburbs Cable Communications Commission and also resolves that the franchising process should continue. At the November 19, 1979 meeting of the Northwest Suburbs Cable Communi- cations Commission, it was announced that a consultant, Tele - Communications Management Corporation, has been hired to assist the Commission in develop- ing the necessary franchise documents. The document titled "Scope of Work Provision of Cable Television Consultant Services to the Northwest Suburbs Cable Communications Commission of Hennepin County" outlines the services provided by the consultant. The services of the consultant include the preparation of the franchise application documents and franchise ordinance and also the evaluation of the franchise applications. f The Commission also formed two subcommittees at its November meeting: One subcommittee will develop bylaws for the Commission and the other was set up to investigate the legal requirements necessary to.ailow the cable franchise to be awarded by the Northwest Suburbs Cable Communications Commission rather than by each individual city. TB:aw a � ' i - City of Brooklyn Center, Minnesota Statement of Communication Needs November 16, 1979 Report and Recommendations of the Brooklyn Center Needs Assessment Committee Presented by: Brooklyn Center Needs Assessment Committee City of Brooklyn Center Statement of Cable Communication Needs Introduction The City of Brooklyn Center is a member of the joint ,powers Northwest Suburbs Cable Communications Commission, which was created for the purpose of coordi- nating and adm- inistering a cable television franchise in the Northwest Hennepin County area. The following cities comprise the membership of the commission: Crystal Plymouth Robbinsdale Brooklyn Park New Hope Maple Grove Golden Valley Osseo Brooklyn Center Medicine Lake On 11, 1979, a Cable Service Territory (CST) encompassing these communities was created by the Minnesota Cable Communications Board (MCCB) With a now existing CST, a number of cable television companies are seeking to provide cable television to residents in this ten community CST area via a franchise with each city. For the purposes of standardization of the franchises between the ten cities and to avoid work duplication the communities are conducting the franchising process jointly. Prior to initiating the actual franchising process, the MCCB requires as per 4 MCAR 4.111 (C) that a needs assessment be conducted. A needs assessment is a survey of citizens to determine if any communication needs exist and, if so, whether they believe that cable television can help to satisfy those needs. A needs assessment lays the groundwork for an orderly, intelligent franchising process. It is designed to determine special communication needs and identify special communications situations which may be addressed by special provisions in the eventual franchise. It has an educational function because it encourages public awareness of cable communications and encourages public participation in the franchising process. The CATV Commission planned a needs assessment which consisted of each community inviting a number of community representatives from various occupational, educational, and social areas, to a seminar. The seminar was designed to educate the community representatives about cable television, including infor- mation pertaining to the technical capabilities of cable television and community - wide questions which must be considered if cable television is to be introduced in the community. Following the educational seminar, community representatives answered a prepared questionnaire to provide their input concerning cable tele- vision needs Community representatives for the City of Brooklyn Center and their area of representation are: Lowell Ainas Housing Commission Robert Quenroe Brooklyn Center Chamber of Commerce Alfred Graser Brooklyn Center Baptist Church John Lescoult Brooklyn Center Leona Lescoult Brooklyn Center Robert Cilke Housing Commission Bill Fignar City of Brooklyn Center H. J. Bogucki Brooklyn Center Chamber of Commerce Reverend Dan Lowry Brooklyn Center Dolores Hastings Housing Commission Ray Haroldson Housing Commission, Pat Weitzel Housing Commission Ronald Coop Citizen Representative Duane Orn, M.D. Citizen Representative The representatives from each community returned their surveys to the Needs Assessment Committee, appointed by each City Council for the purpose of advising the Council on the communication needs in the city and whether cable television can satisfy those needs. In addition, the committee considered whether or not the residents of Brooklyn Center actually want cable tele- vision. The members of the Brooklyn Center Needs Assessment Committee are: Bill Fignar 6025 Abbott Avenue North Ron Coop 5337 Queen Avenue North T This is the "Statement of Communication Needs" presented by the Brooklyn Center Needs Assessment Committee. It will be made available to the public and presented to the City Council for their use in considering a cable tele- vision franchise. In addition, the Northwest Suburbs Cable Communications Commission will collate the Brooklyn Center "Statement of Communication Needs with the statements from the other nine communities. The result will be a broad -based "Statement of Communication Needs" for the entire Northwest Suburbs Cable Communications Commission area. This statement will be used in preparing the specifications for the cable franchise as it will reflect the special communications needs expressed by representatives of communities participating in the Northwest Suburbs Communications Commission. Evaluation of Data and Committee Conclusions The community representatives responding to the Needs Assessment Survey have agreed unanimously that cable television should be. available to those residents in Brooklyn Center desiring to subscribe. Some of the most often expressed communication needs in Brooklyn Center, as indicated by the community representatives, include: a. local television origination b. educational broadcasting C. wider choice of programs to choose from d. property protection monitoring Important benefits of cable television, as perceived by the community repre- sentatives, include provide origination to local political issues, emergency alert capability, cultural events, neighborhood issues, crime and fire pre- vention education, hospital education, and Metropolitan Council issues. In summary, it can be concluded that the Brooklyn Center community represen- tatives believe that cable television should be made available to all residents desiring to subscribe and that local origination and programming is an important feature to be included in the cable television system.

The following cities comprise the commission: Crystal Plymouth Robbinsdale Brooklyn Park New Hope Osseo Golden Valley Maple Grove Brooklyn Center On May 11, 1979. a Cable Service Territory (CST) encompassing these commun- ities was created. With a now existing CST a number of cable television companies are seeking to provide cable television to residents in this 9- community CST area via a franchise with each city. For purposes of standardizing the franchises between the nine cities and to avoid work duplication, the communities are conducting the franchising process jointly. Prior to initiating the actual franchising process, the Minnesota Cable Communications Board (MCCB) required per MCAR 4.111 (C) that a needs assessment be conducted. A needs assessment is a survey of citizens to determine if any communication needs exist and, if so, whether they believe that cable television can help to satisfy those needs. A needs assessment lays the groundwork for an. orderly, intelligent franchising process. It is designed to determine special communication needs and identify special communication situations which may be addressed by special provisions in the eventual franchise. It has an educational function because it en courages public awareness of cable communications and public participation in the franchising process. The Commission planned a needs assessment which consistQd of each community inviting a number of community representatives from various occupational, educational, and social areas to a seminar on July 26, 1979 at which they were educated about cable television. Following the seminar, each of the approximate 80 community representatives were surveyed. Monitoring the needs assessment was a subcommittee of the Northwest Suburbs Cable Communication Commission comprised of: Roger Kroh, Chair Robbinsdale Thomas Aaker Crystal Dorothy Hokr New Hope Raymond Stockman Golden Valley Frank Boyles Plymouth Thomas Bublitz Brooklyn Center Delos Webster Brooklyn Park David Wencel Maple Grove Richard Setzler Osseo Thomas Trippet. School District No. 281 William Shragg School District No. 279 Charles Kritzler Hennepin County Libraries E f After the surveys were returned, each community completed a needs assessment. The assessments were later collated into this report by the Northwest Suburbs Cable Communications Commission Needs Assessment Subcommittee. An addendum to the Needs Assessment is a report prepared by School Districts No. 281, 286, 287, and 279, expressing the views of the educational interests as to what communication needs exist and how cable television could address these needs. I This "Statement of Communication Needs" reflects the major points expres -- sed by the individual cities in their own needs assessments. This report is not intended to dilute the views of each City on the future cable television, but only to make it easier to ascertain the general consensus of the Northwest Suburbs concerning cable service. The collated data is not the exact total of the survey results, as incomplete responses and the varying formats of the individual cities' reports did not permit an exact tabulation. I DATA 1. Do you believe that cable television should be available to those who sub- scribe in your community? YES 52 NO 1 If not, what is your major reason(s) for not desiring cable television? - Additional costs for services couldn't be raised in a small community - It would stratify community as only upper class would purchase it - Local movies and plays would loose attendance and cause loss of jobs P - Local televised meetings might be poorly done and discourage partici- pation. 2. If cable television becomes available in your community do you believe you would probably want to be a paying subscriber? YES 35 NO 7 3. What do you believe to be the most significant problem(s) in your community which cable television could help to solve? - Limited program choice and lack of quality programs - Personal health information Public and personal safety information - Lack of knowledge of community activities, thus apathy toward schools, government, etc. - Lack of community identity - Lack of neighborhood information - Lack of political information - Too much sex on television - Distance too far to entertainment 4. How would cable television help to solve the problems) -you identified in ' question No. 3 above? - Provide additional channels and higher quality programs -- Broadcast more school events and community activities - More educational programs, especially for handicapped - Public access channels produce more "belonging feeling" in community Control programming for children - Make legislative bodies more accessible to public by broadcasting meetings - Opinion polls could be taken - Easier access to activities would generate more interest S.

Do Residents in the Northwest Suburbs Slant Cable Television? The 52 respondents indicating a desire for cable service is overriding evidence of a need for this, type of communication in the Northwest suburbs. As the number was minimal who stated that they did not wish cable service, this reinforces the majority desire for cable television. The subcommittee believes that some of the reasons listed for not having cable television, although vali6 concerns, have not been proven. The data collected indicated that a lesser *number of citizens will sub- scribe to cable television than the number who wish that the service ` be available. The subcommittee believes that cable service, like early television, will spread as people see it in their neighbors homes. 2 What are the Communication Needs in the Northwest Suburbs and Would Cable Television Satisfy These Needs? A number of communication needs were indicated, and for the most part, cable television has the capability of addressing these needs. Some of the communication needs cited most frequently were: - limited program choice and quality of programs; Limited information on public and personal safety, and; -lack of knowledge of government, school and community activities. These and other communication needs can be addressed best by increased broadcasting of local activities (legislative meetings, community ac- tivities, school activities, etc.) In addition, the additional channels inherent with cable television will increase program choice and at the same time provide a higher caliber of programming merely through the greater variety of programs and channels. 3. What are the Most Important Services /Benefits that Cable Television Holds for Residents? Residents responding to the survey expressed favoritism for the benefits of local television origination, increased programming choice, educational broadcasting, live- presentation of national and world events, medical protection services, first -run movies, and two- way communication. However, in general, the citizens had a wide range of preferences in terms of the benefits cable television holds for them. This is meaningful as cable television provides such a variety of benefits,. it is nearly cer- tain that many of these desires can be met. k. What Opportunities for Local Programming will Cable Television Offer? The citizens indicated numerous opportunities are available for local programming. Several types of opportunities frequently mentioned were the programming of local political issues, local school educational Issues, cultural and art events, emergency alert capability, library programs, county government issues, metropolitan council issues, and programming for the impaired /disabled. 5. Would Local Origination Be Used? Approximately thirty -five out of fifty -three residents indicated their belief that cable television could be used by their respective groups or areas of interest for local programming. Approximately fourteen citizens were unsure as to whether their respective groups or areas of interest could utilize local programming. Several examples of local programming cited were League of Women Voter educational programs, transportation information, human service information, forums on crime prevention, consumer information, and health programs. The subcommittee believes that as always with new technology, initially the applications seem somewhat limited. However, once new technology is _implemented and I people begin to understand it, the applications for it grow at a multiple rate.

These being duly noted, there was motion by Commissioner Malecki seconded by Commissioner Hawes to approve the minutes of the November 8 meeting as corrected. Voting in favor: Chair- man Pierce, Commissioners Malecki, Hawes, Theis, Manson, Lucht and Erickson. Voting against: none. The motion passed unanimously. PUBLIC HEARING ON COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Chairman Pierce explained to those present that the Planning Commission is an advisory body to the City Council and that all final decisions are made by the City Council.. He then opened the meeting for the continuation of the public hearing to review the 1980 Comprehensive Plan. Mr. Carl Russert, who lives at 6300 'France Avenue North, asked what was being `planned for Brooklyn Boulevard. Mr. Bill Weber, the City's Planning Consultant with Bather, Ringrose, Wolsfeld, Jarvis and Gardner, responded that Brooklyn Boulevard was the subject of a,major study within the comprehensive Plan. He stated that Brooklyn Boulevard, more than any other 'street in Brooklyn Center, forms an image of the City. He added that it functions as both a major thoroughfare and also as the location of local shopping and office facilities. He then reviewed the recommended conceptual alternative for pro- posed land uses along Brooklyn Boulevard. He began by stating that at the south end of Brooklyn Center, the industrial use of property on the west side of Brooklyn Boulevard should be allowed to continue, but specified that the manufacture of fertilizer should be phased out in the forseeable future. From forty- ninth Avenue to Highway 100, he recommended that the City protect and maintain the single family residential character of the Boulevard. North of Highway 100, he acknowledged the continuation of Commercial /retail uses around Brookdale on the east and single- family residential on the west up to -58th Avenue North, with the exception of a new service /office area from'_Nprthport Medical Clinic to the new Brooklyn Law Center on the west side of the Boulevard. He described the area between 58th'Avenue North and 62nd Avenue North as a' transition zone and recommended that this 11 - -79 -1 R area be allowed to convert to a service /office use ove time. He recommended the expansion of the retail node at 63r Avenue North and Brooklyn Boulevard to include the block west of Ch+owen, north of 62nd Avenue and south of 63rd Avenue North. 'Except for the existing Shoppers City at the northeast corner of 63rd and Brooklyn Boulevard, Mr. Weber recommended a mid-density residen- tial housing pattern from 63rd Avenue _North to the Freeway. North of the Freeway, Mr. Weber recommended that the p esent automobile dealerships be allowed to continue. He recommended strengthening of the retail node at 69th and Brooklyn Boulevard and a mid- density residential pattern from 70th Avenue to the north City limits. Mr. Russert said that he did.not want to see a Burger King erected adjacent to his backyard. Mr. Weber assured him. that that would not happen if the land use proposals in the draft Comprehensive Plan were adopted and enforced by the City. Mrs. Pat LaBelle of 3319 - "61st Avenue North asked where office uses would be located and how far away from the Boulevard this type of use would extend. Mr. Weber answered that offices are generally recommended to be one block deep along the B ooklyn Boulevard corridor on one acre lots with a minimum wid h of 154 feet. He explained that to allow commercial ,'developme t under the existing 75 foot wide lot width requirement would iimply allow for more curb cuts, more signs and more traffic problems along the Boulevard. Jack Lescault of 6142 Brooklyn Boulevard explained that he operated as a chiropractor out of his home and had planned on converting his property to a commercial use when a private covenant on the property expired in 1980. Now, he complained, the City would require him to buy an acre of land in order to be a'`legal commercial development. The Secretary, responded that Mr. Lescault had bought his property on specu- lation, that it is` currently ` zoned Rl and that no commercial development of his property is contemplated under the existing Comprehensive Plan, Commissioner Lucht commented that if the applicant were to request a rezoning at this time, it would be denied since the current Comprehensive Plan does not call-for commercial development at his location. The Secretary added that to rezone against the Comprehensive Plan is an instance of "spot zoning" and would be illegal. Mr. Lescault answered simply that he is anxious over the new`site requirements for commercial developments being,proposed in the Comprehensive Plan. Mr. Weber then reviewed some examples of possible town I iouse and office development along Brooklyn Boulevard. He showed with the aid of graphics that it would be impossible to put the size of development that both developers and the City would wait on an area of land only one lot deep. He also explained tha larger developments would consolidate access points onto the Boulevard and thereby help to better manage traffic, Mr. Larson, of 6012 Ewing Avenue North, .asked whether the consent of property owners is needed before this conversion takes place. Mr. Weber answered that unless the City >were :to use itr, condem- nation power (which is very unlikely) the properties i volved would have to be transacted between a willing buyer and a willing seller. 11 -29 -79 -2 Mr. Earl Reitan of 6449 Ewing Avenue North, called the proposed development policy for Brooklyn Boulevard "piecemeal" and recommended that the City promote offices and not retail uses along the Boulevard. He encouraged larger office complexes which would take up at least an entire block. He asked what happened to the 1966 Comprehensive Plan which, he said, was more in line with his suggestions. The Secretary answered that the City still operates under the 1966 Comprehensive Plan. He explained that the currently proposed', Comprehensive Plan was mandated by the 1976 Metropolitan Land Planning Act- and that most of the pro- posed Plan deals with the City's participation in regional systems, such as roads, sewers, airports and parks. He added that the Brooklyn Boulevard Study is one of the more local elements of the Plan and that the Plan as it relates to Brooklyn Boulevard ` -does not vary significantly from the - 1.96.6..Plan. He cited the transition zone along Brooklyn Boulevard from 58th Avenue to 62nd Avenue as an example of a proposed change. He stated that this area is no longer considered viable for single family residential uses and that a change to service /office uses seems to be the best alternative. He also pointed out that the City does not enforce private covenants and that conversely those covenants do not affect the City's power to zone. As to the accusation that the proposed plan sponsors piecemeal development, the Secretary argued that it would have just the opposite affect. Under the present zoning Ordinance, office developments would be allowed on 75 foot wide lots now occupied by individual resi- dences. This could, if developed in such a manner, heave the same number of curb cuts along the Boulevard, which would cause increased traffic movements, and have an adverse impact on the roadway. He explained that site design requirements would protect residences adjacent to commercial developments and that widening commercial districts to a full block in depth would add to the buffer area between commercial and residential by making use of the street. He also pointed out that under the proposed Comprehensive Plan, fast food restaurants would be defined as "convenience food restaurants" and would fall under the same restrictions as presently apply to drive -in restaurants, which means they cannot abut Rl, R2 or R3 property, even at a street line, and would be a special use. Mrs. Eleanor Sledz complained that Burger King is a horrible nuisance, expecially since the addition of the drive -up window. She stated that she did not think the City could stop fast food restaurants from moving in along the Boulevard. The Secretary explained that Burger King was not a special use when it was approved and that the City had no choice but to allow it as a' rmitted use. Mr. Fast of 6013 complained Brooklyn Boulevard that traffic along' P Brooklyn Boulevard made it very difficult to enter the Boulevard from his home and complained also about the amount of noise m h coming from he Boulevard. The r explained that the g t ul yard. a Secreta y xp traffic and the noise were among the reasons that the Land along Brooklyn Boulevard is not considered viable for single family residential use. Mr. Fast suggested that an alleyway be con- demned so that people living along the Boulevard could use the alley to gain access to their properties. The Secretary answered 11 -29 -79 -3- that it was against the City's policy to condemn land for such a purpose, but that it might be possible for such a project if the City were petitioned by affected property owners. An un- identified woman asked ;how condemnation proceedings would work. The Secretary explained that no land is being considered, at least at this time, for condemnation along the Boulevard. He went on to explain that under condemnation an offer is made to the property owner and that if it is not accepted, a hearing is established regarding a determination of value The proceeding would examine both whether the offer for the property and the purpose for the condemnation were fair. He also explal.ned that if a private developer were to buy up the land, he would have to pay the seller a price which the seller would willingly accept. Mr. Shallbetter, 3224 Mumford Road, stated that he generally agreed with the proposed Comprehensive Plan and asked when it would officially be adopted. Mr. Weber responded that it would not be adopted until at least September of 1980, explaining that it would have to be reviewed by neighboring cities and the Metropolitan Council before the City Council would officially adopt a Comprehensive Plan. Mrs. Pat LaBelle, of 3319 6 1st Avenue North, asked whether the City would allow curb cuts on Beard Avenue North adjac nt to the Brookdale State Bank facility at 5920 Brooklyn Boulevard. The Secretary answered that the City is considering cul =de sacing 59th Avenue just east of the bank entrance and is tryi g to avoid the use of local streets by commercial uses. Mrs. LaBelle stated that the traffic on Beard Avenue is getting worse since the Bank moved in. Ron Blake, Chairman of the;West`Central Neighborhood Advisory Group, next spoke to the Planning Commission and state that the City should have made a better attempt to contact he residents living near Brooklyn Boulevard which are sub'ect to the changes proposed in the Comprehensive Plan. He ar ued that the City could have spent some of the money it has pai to the Planning Consultants on the cost of notifying these to al residents and complained that it was not his responsib'lity to personally mail notices to people being affected. As a result of the City not notifying residents, he said, word is etting around about the Comprehensive Plan by rumor which leas to distortions. A lengthy discussion then ensued concerning the City's notifi- cation requirements and methods. Commissioner Theis commented that local citizens have a responsibility to read the local papers and be aware of governmental issues which may affect them. An unidentified woman living on Chowen Avenue North expressed concern about enrollment declines in Brooklyn Center's School Districts and stated that if residences were moved out along the Brooklyn Boulevard corridor, this would - aggravate ose declines. 11 -29 -79 -4- The Secretary commented that in both the hearings on the Com- prehensive Plan the only aspect touched on was Brooklyn Boule- vard. He pointed out that the rest of the City is covered by the new Comprehensive Plan and invited comments on these other areas. He explained that the proposed Plan builds on the 1966 Plan and that the original Plan is not discarded upon adoption of the new Plan. Ron Blake of the West Central Neighborhood Advisory Group asked whether a higher governmental body would require that the Plan be implemented if private redevelopment did not take place within- a period of five to ten years. The Secretary ,answered that higher levels of government would not require the implementation of the Plan by the City since that is not the function of the Plan. He explained that the Comprehensive Plan is a document' which tells the metropolitan Council how Brooklyn Center fits- into various Metropolitan systems. It also tells a developer what the City is looking for and gives City officials a guide as to what to approve in various locations. The initiative, he said, would remain with the private sector. He also stated that the City cannot legally violate its Comprehensive Plan, that it must zone property in accordance with the Plan or amend the Plan through a legal procedure similar to a rezoning. Mr. Blake asked if developers do not come in, will the status; quo remain without the City forcing a change. The Secretary answered that that was correct and cited properties along Brooklyn Boulevard zoned for office use which presently have residences on them and have not been converted since the adoption of the 1966 Comprehensive Plan. He explained that those residences are now non- conforming and cannot expand. He ex- plained that the City does not intend to rezone property in con- junction with the adoption of this Comprehensive Plan as it did in many cases with the adoption of the 1966 Comprehensive Plan. RECESS T ie Planning Commission recessed at 9 :57 p.m. and was resumed at 10:27 p.m. by Chairman Pro tem Bill Hawes. Chairman Pierce left the meeting during the recess. When the Planning Commission resumed, the Secretary told the Planning Commission that many changes to the Plan had been pro- posed by staff to the Planning Consultant. He mentioned that a major change would be the addition of the neighborhood breakdown given in the original Comprehensive Plan. He also noted that Housing Maintenance inspections at the point of sale would not be advocated as strongly in the proposed document. He cited the fact that the City Council has already expressed its feeling that such an ordinance may not be needed at this time, would in- volve much staff time, and may force difficult conditions on homeowners who :want to sell their property.` He added that the City could possibly be liable for damages if a home that it in- spected turned out to have some code deficiencies_ that caused injuries. 11 -29 -79 -5- There was a brief discussion regarding point -of -sale inspections. The Secretary explained that Minneapolis hires certified in- spectors and simply makes a disclosure of the findings rather' than requiring code compliance as is the case in St. Louis Park. The Secretary also stated that the Comprehensive Plan would in- clude a statement about airports which was left out of the draft submitted to the Planning Commission. Commissioner Theis pointed out that Point E on Page A -10 of the Flood Plain Ordinance prevents the increase -in runoff or de- crease in absorption on properties within the Flood Plain. He stated that this would probably stifle development in those areas, The Superintendent of Engineering stated that there are various ways to retain water on a site and that development could go forward if adequate means to control drainage were implemented. Commissioner Erickson stated that he hoped the City would have a number of Brooklyn Boulevard Studies and maps available for the public once the Plan has been approved by the City Council. CLOSE PUBLIC HEARING Motion by Commissioner Theis seconded by Commissioner Malecki to close the public- hearing on the Comprehensive Plan. Voting in favor: Chairman Pro tem Hawes, Commissioners Malecki, Theis, Hawes, Manson, Lucht and Erickson. Voting against: none. The motion passed. DISCUSSION ITEMS The Secretary pointed out that the terms for Commissioner Malecki, Theis and Hawes, would expire at the end of the year and acknow- ledged their interest in being reappointed for another term. The Secretary informed the Commission that he had received a request by Budgetel Motel and Thrifty Scot Motel to amend the City's Ordinance to allow "live 'in" - resident managers in motels. He noted that the concept was considered during the review of the Budgetel plans, but that further review was recommended prior to any Ordinance Amendments. The Secretary stated that he saw some positive advantages to such an arrangement including maintenance and safety advantages. Commissioner Erickson stated that the Commission may want to consider providing for resident managers at mortuaries. He added that he agreed with the Secretary's comments and asked that staff prepare a draft, ordinance amendment. Chairman Pro tem Hawes asked how many people would be comprehended under such a provision: the manager, the assistant manager, the manager and his 'family? The Secretary speculated that it would not encompass the assistant manager, but would 'allow a manager and his family to reside at `a motel. The Secretary asked the Commission if it would be willing to shift its December 20 meeting to December 13 -in order-to give consideration to a preliminary plat proposed by Brooklyn Center Industrial Park. Commissioners Malecki and Erickson stated that they would be late to the meeting if they could attend it 11- 29--79 -6- at all. Commissioner Hawes stated that he would be unable to make the Planning Commission meetings on December 6 and December 10. It was the consensus of the Commission to hold its second meeting in December on December 13th rather than December 20th, and to consider a preliminary plat submitted by Brooklyn Center Industrial Park. ADJOURNMENT Motion by Commissioner Malecki seconded by Commissioner Lucht to adjourn the meeting of the Planning Commission. Voting in favor: Chairman Pro tem Hawes, Commissioners Malecki, Theis, Manson, Lucht and Erickson. Voting against: none. The motion passed. The Planning Commission adjourned at 11 :15 p.m. Chairman 11 -29 -79 -7- Planning Commission Information Sheet t f Application No. 79070 Applicant: Brooklyn Center Industrial Park Location: West of Shingle Creek Parkway, north of Freeway Boulevard Request: R.L.S. Approval The applicant requests subdivision approval to create a new R.L.S. on the land _presently described as Tract B, R.L.S. 1405. The land is bounded by Shingle Creek Parkway on the east and north, the MTC property and the Shingle Creek greenstrip on the west, and by freeway Boulevard on the south. The entire tract of land is 39.92 acres,the largest single parcel of land privately owned in Brooklyn Center. The property is proposed to be divided into four large, tracts of the following sizes Tract A 5.20 Acres Tract B - 11.06 Acres Tract C 17.09 Acres Tract D - 6.57 Acres Tract A will serve as the site for the approved Spec 9 industrial building, east of the MTC property. Tract B and Tract C are tentantively to be used for a number of industrial buildings totalling up to 430,000 square feet. Most of the parking for these two tracts would be located on Tract B. Tract D is designated on the accompanying site plan as the site for a motel with a restaurant. ThP site plan is a conceptual plan only and is not considered a'mas`ter plan for which the applicant is seeking approval. The platting is primarily for the purpose of establishing legal parcels for sale. The proposed R.L.S, indicates a 5' wide NSP Company easement adjacent to all public right-of-way. A 20' wide drainage ' p ge d7tch easement �s proposed. to divide this subdivision through Tracts C and B in a northeasterly fashion from the Shingle Creek Parkway walkway easement to Shingle Creek . There is also a - 10 ' ride storm sewer easement at the southwestern tip of Tract D, .adjacent to the Freewa Boulevard r . y b ridge a over Shingle Creek. 9 9 The configuration of the proposed tracts almost certainly requires that a joint parking agreement between Tracts B and C will have to be concluded if develop- ment of Tract C is to be facilitated. The applicant has indicated that he plans to file joint access and joint parking agreements with the R.L.S. covering Tracts B. C. and D A joint access agreement between Tracts A and B has already been filed, according to the applicant. The Superintendent of Engineering will be prepared at Thursday's meeting to review this subdivision proposal in more detail along with the implied public improvements, Approval would be subject to at least the following conditions: 1. The final plat is subject to review and approval by the City Engineer. 2. The final plat is subject to the provisions of Chapter 15 of the City Ordinances. 3. Final plat approval is subject to the conclusion of a joint parking agreement being filed as a deed restriction with Tracts B and C. 4. Final plat approval is subject to a new 'drainage easement 12-13-79 through the site being filed with the R.

Merila, Director of Public Works DATE: June 2 1977 SUBJECT: Increasing Single Family Unit Water Assessment Rate I. BACKGROUND On March 25, 1974, the Brooklyn Center City Council adopted Resolution No. 74-45, increasing the assessment rate for water improvements to more closely reflect actual costs. The resolution established the current single family unit water assess - ment rate of $1,090.00, and a non - single family assessment rate of $10`.85 per front foot, and an area equivalent rate of $3.35 per 100 square feet. The resolution also established a new policy,of adjusting the non - single family equivalent frontage rate and area equivalent - rate of assessments annually each January lst in accordance with the Twin City Consumer's Price Index quoted for the preceding October. Since 1974, the non - single family assessment rate has been increased by 23.7/ reflecting the increase in the Twin City Consumer's Price Index•, while the single family assessment rate has remained at the same level. During the same period, the cost of installing 6" lateral lines in Brooklyn Center has increased by approximately 20%, while the Engineering New Record Index indicates general construction costs have increased by approximately 29.5 %. The above comparisons indicate the concept of adjusting water assess ment rates in accordance with the Twin City Consumer's Price Index provides a reasonable close correlation between actual construction costs and water assessment rates. This memo reviews the present water assessment policies,. compares the present water assessment rate of $1,090.00 per residential unit with current actual construction costs, compares the present water assess- ment rate with the assessment rates charged by other communities, and recommends an increase in the single family water assessment rate to 'an amount that reflects a truer cost for benefits received from the water main installation by the City of Brooklyn Center as follows Present Recommended t Rate Rates Single Family Residential $1,090 /unit $1,315 /unit2 Large Tracts: Frontage (no change) $13.42 /fr.ft. $1342/fr. ft.l 1 Area (no change) 4.14/100 sq.ft. 4.14/100 sq/ft. 'Adjusted each January 1st in accordance with the Twin City Consumer's Price Lndex quoted for the preceding October. 21t is recommended the single family residential unit assessment rate be adjusted annually each January 1st in accordance with the Twin City Consumer's Price Index quoted for the preceding Oetober the same manner as the current frontage and area assessment rates are adjusted for non- single family properties. II. PRESENT WATER ASSESSMENT POLICIES The present water assessment policy provides for the installation of .a complete water system to the residential property line, including supplies, storage, mains, laterals, and copper service lies at the unit water assessment rate of $1,090.00. The policy also provides for a uniform residential equivalent frontage assessment for large non- single family tracts of land. In 1974, the residential equivalent frontage was established at $10.'85 per front foot, which was equal to an $815.00 assessment for a 75 foot frontage. The $275.00 balance of the $1,090.00 unit assessment was considered to be the average cost of the water service Sine between the water main and the front property line of each building site. The non- single family tracts of land assessed at the residential equivalent frontage rate are also assessed the actual cost of the service to the property line which is likely to be larger than that required by a single family residence. In addition, they are assessed an area equivalent rate for previously unassessed area. In 1974, the area equivalent rate was established at $3.35 per 100 square feet. Background information for establishing the above assessment policies for financing the three different parts of the City water system consist of the following: Page 3 1. Supply and Trunk Mains The supply and trunk mains consist of the wells, pumps, storage, and all water main 8" inches in diameter or larger. Since these components of the water system are a general benefit to all water users, their costs are shared equally among all assessable units at an area equivalent rate of assessment in the amount of $3.35/ 100 square feet or $340.00 per residential: lot (75' x 135' = 10,125 sq.,ft. x $3.35/100 sq. ft.). 2. Laterals The laterals P ertain to the 6" water mains and the necessary appurtenances to provide water service to a neighborhood; therefore, the laterals are of a local nature and benefit primarily those properties immediately adjacent thereto. it is estimated that $475.00 of the $1,090.00 assessment rate was contrib- utable to the lateral costs. i 3. Service Line The service line consists of a 1" copper line extended from the water line in the street to the resident's property line, including necessary shut -off valves. The service line cost was estimated to constitute $275.00 of the $1,090.00 residential assessment rate. The 1974 increase in assessment rates for water improvements also included the adjustment for non - single - family equivalent frontage rate and area equivalent rates of assessment annually each January lst in accordance with the Twin City Consumer's Price index quoted for the preceding October. I In accordance with that provision, the non- single family frontage equivalent rate has increased from $10.85 per front foot to the current rate of $13.42 per front foot, while the equivalent area assessment has increased from $3.35/100 square feet to $4.14/100 square feet.' The above increase amounting to 23.7/ compares very closely to increases in water main installation costs during the same period of time. Page _ 4 III. COMPARISON OF PRESENT ASSESSMENT RATE WITH ACTUAL CONSTRUCTION COSTS AND OTHER COMMUNITY RATES A. Actual Cost Comparison Table No. 1 shows the comparison of average annual unit costs of installing service lines and laterals in 1974 and 1977. TABLE NO. 1• COMPARISON OF SERVICE LINE AND LATERAL COST FOR 1974 AND 1977 % of Costs 1974 1977 Increase Service Lines $275.00 $308.50 12.2% Lateral 475.00 570.00 20.0 °l Totals $750:00* $878.50 *1974 costs are the current single family residential assessment rate for service and lateral costs. An amount of $340.00 for trunk and supply is added to the $750.00 'r to give the total of $1,090.00 current rate. Table No. 1 indicates the following: 1) The average unit service -line and lateral cost for 1977 is approximately $128.50 greater than the established assessment rate for those items. 2) The current service line portion of the unit assessment a rate in the amount of $275.00 is approximately $33.00 or 12.2/ less than the estimated 1977 unit service cost of $308.50. 3) The lateral portion of the unit assessment rate amounting to $475.00 is approximately $95.00 less than the estimated 1977 unit lateral cost of $570.00. 4) The assessment rate per residential unit should be increased by $133.00 ($750.00 to $878.50) to just finance the basic cost of installing the service line and lateral to abutting property owners. i 5) The percentage of increase for service line costs is less i than lateral costs because of an ext a di ary` increase in the cost of copper service lines in93 -7, Page 5 • A tabulation of the increased unit cost for supply facilities a and trunk mains is not given here because of the difficulty of making those comparisons; however it is understandable that if the lateral costs have increased by approximately 20 during the past three years, that the cost of constructing new supplies and facilities has increased proportionately. - During the period of 1974 to 1977, the Engineering News Record indicates the general construction costs have increased by 29.5% while the Consumer's Price Index indicates the purchasing power of the consumer dollar has decreased by 23..7/. Therefore, the supply and trunk main portion of the single family assessment should be increased by 23.7% from $3.35 per 100 square feet to $4.14 per 100 square feet ($3.35 x 1.237) in the same manner as the non - single family property. This increase will require new single family water users to pay an assessment on the basis of the 1977 dollar value rather than the 1974 dollar value in the same manner as non- single family properties. ` B. Assessment Rate Comparison with Other Communities Table No'. 2 shows the comparison of average water main assessment rates consisting of service lateral and trunk and supply costs per residential unit levied by other municipalities in the metropolitan area. Table No. 2 indicates the following: 1) The Brooklyn Center current single family water assessment rate of $750.00 for service and lateral is $289.00 lower than the average rate of $1,039.00 and $229.00 less than the mean value of $979.00 for ten communities. 2) The Brooklyn Center total water assessment rate of $1,090.00 per residential single family unit is $272..00 below the average rate of $1,362.00 and $340.00 below the mean assess- ment rate of the seven communities who do assess a total sum for lateral, service line and trunk and supply facilities. The survey of the communities in Table No. 2 indicates that trunk and supply facilities are financed in various ways, such as assessments, partial assessment, user charge, tax levies or Combinations thereof. The City of Coon Rapids incorporates the use of the construction cost index for increasing the trunk and supply assessment rate annually. This appears to be an equitable way of insuring that future users pay their proportionate share of the facility costs, considering the escalating costs of inflation of the dollar.

Page 7 IV. WATER MAIN CONSTRUCTION STATUS A review of the City water map indicates that currently approximately 100 subdivided residential lots. do not have City water mains avail - able to them for hookup, and potentially approximately 110 lots, in unsubdivided' residential areas. The remainder of the water system construction consists of providing service to non - single family residential properties and additional construction of facilities for trunk.lin'e and supply. V. RECOMMENDATIONS It is recommended that the single.family water assessment rate be increased to reflect the cost for benefits received for the water main installation by the City of Brooklyn Center as follows: �.. That the unit water assessment rate be increased to $1,315.00 on all residential projects. 2. That the unit water assessment rate be adjusted annually in accordance with the Consumer's Price Index. A summary of the computations used to derive the proposed assessment rate is as follows: Service Line (Est. 1977 Unit Cost) $308.50 f Lateral, � & Trunk - $13.42 /front foot x 75 feet 1,006.50 Proposed Residential Assessment -Rate $1,315.00 *Non- single family residential frontage rate. * *Typical residential lot front footage. and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION NO. 74_45 RESOLUTION INCREASING THE ASSESSMENT RATE FOR' ' CITY WATER IMPROVEMENTS WHEREAS the Director of Public Works has presented a report dated March 13, 1974, showing that the present assessment rate of .$590.00 per residential assessment unit, $6.20 /front foot and,$2,.42 /100 sq. ft. of area for large tracts, is now inadequate to support the construction costs for providing water service to property owners in the City of Brooklyn Center; and WHEREAS, the report further estimates the basic cost of pro- viding an equivalent 6 -inch lateral and service line to the abutting property owners to be $750.00; and WHEREAS, it was determined in 1968 that all new water users shall share equally in the financing of the trunk main and supply facilities costs by being assessed an area equivalent rate of assess- ment in the amount of $2.42/100 sq. ft., or $245.00 per residential lot; and WHEREAS, the said report further shows that during the period; of 1968 to 1974 the Engineering News Record Index of general construct- ion costs has increased by 83 %, while the U. S. Department of Labor Consumer Price Index for the Twin City area indicates the purchasing power of the dollar has decreased by 38.4°% and WHEREAS, it,is determined that an equitable area assessment rate for trunk mains and supply facilities is one which is directly related to the current purchasing power of the dollar; and WHEREAS, the Consumer Price Index reflects an up to date change in the current purchasing power of the dollar with respect to previous years; and WHEREAS, increasing the area equivalent rate of assessment by 38.4% to $3.35/100 sq. ft., or $340.00 per residential lot, results in new water users being assessed an amount equivalent to the purchasing power of 1968 dollars. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Brooklyn Center, Minnesota as follows 1. That the unit water assessment rate be increased to $750.00, effective on all residential projects on which petitions are received or which are ordered by the City Council after April 1, 1974, and further be increased to $1,090.00 effective on all projects after January 1, 1975. c. c RESOLUTION NO- 74 -45 2•.

MEMORANDUM To: Jerry Splinter, 'City Manager From: James Lindsay, Chief of Police .�• Subject: Police Department Liquor License Annual Report Date: December`5, 1979 The following is a report on liquor establishments holding On Sale liquor licenses within the City of Brooklyn Center. The reporting period is from January 1, 1979, to October 31, 1979. The first item noted is the tremendous increase in calks for service from the vari ous liquor establishments within Brooklyn Center. This is the first increase in the last five (5) years, but we feel it reflects the change in the posture of the Police Department in our dealings with the indi vidual establishments. In the past few years, the Police Administration has noted _a reluc tance on the part of the management of various liquor establishments to eagerly work with the Police Department in handling problems at their establishments. The reasons behind this are unclear to us We have, therefore, become more aggressive about holding meetings with the management of the 'various establishments to explain our position and express an interest in working very closely with them in handling their problems about their calls being a reflection upon their ability to manage their individual establishments. In all of these sessions, the management has seemed to be very recep- tive to our change in posture and have offered several good suggestions which we have acted upon and have engaged in a very open interchange with us. As an outgrowth of these management meetings, the Police De- partment has held sessions at the various establishments concerning the State Liquor laws and how they apply to their employees, First Aid courses, as well as ABC's of Lifesaving courses for the employees and also given sessions on our local ordinances concerning liquor establish - ments and other ancillary ordinances which they may become involved in.` All of these have helped to foster a more cooperative feeling and effort on the part of all of these establishments. Our emphasis on quick and timely calls appears to have been borne out by the increase, not only in calls, but also of arrests stemming from calls to establishments. In this ten (10) month period, there have been 22 arrests as a result of these calls which we feel is an excellent ex- pression of confidence on both the part of the liquor - establishments -and the Police Department in dealing with each other and in working openly with each other. -2- YEAR NUMBER OF ESTABLISHMENTS NUMBER OF INCIDENTS 1975 10 270 1976 lI 212 1977 11 124 1978 12 117 1979 13 296 1. THE AMERICAN LEGION CLUB - 4307 70th Avenue North There were only two (2) incidents reported at the American Legion Club in the ten month reporting period. Neither of these were liquor related incidents and neither appear to be any problem to the Police Department itself, 1 Auto Theft 1 Medical 2. BEACON BOWL - 6525 Lyndale Avenue North There were ten (10) calls for service at the Beacon Bowl in the `:ten month reporting period. None of these were liquor related in any way and, at this time, we see no problem with the management of this parti- cular establishment. 5 Theft from u h Auto 1 Miscellaneous Public -4 Vandalism 1 Warrant Arrest 3. CHUCK WAGON INN 5720 Morgan Avenue North There were only two (2) reported incidents at the Chuck Wagon Inn, nei- ther of which was a liquor related incident and during the past year, we have had a change of management in this establishment and the new management seems very sincere and eager to assist us in any way. He seems to be running a very high quality establishment. 1 Lost Property 1 Recovered Property 4. CICERO'S - 5717 Xerxes Avenue North There were five (5) calls for services at Cicero's, only one (1) of which was a liquor related incident and this concerned _a disorderly party who was ultimately arrested by the Police Department. Again, as in the past, Cicero's has seemed to be very eager to assist us and run a well controlled establishment as most of their clientele is of the family type. 2 Lockouts 2 Miscellaneous Public 1 Disorderly (Arrest) -3- 5. THE EARLE BROWN BOWL - 6440 James Circle There were a total of 62 calls for service generated by this liquor lic- ense establishment. The Earle Brown Bowl is a 24 -hour a day, 7 -day a week establishment, with a great deal of traffic to the establishment at all hours, day and night, both during the week and the weekend. Out of the 62 calls for service, it appears that only five (5) of them would be directly liquor related and out of the 62, there were seven (7) arrests made by the Police Department for vandalism, theft, assault and possession of marijuana. Since this establishment opened up, the management has worked very hard to assist us in any way possible to run the establish- ment as we would like to have ahem run it. The Police Department can see no problem with the management of this establishment at all. 5 Vandalism - 2 Arrests 13 Miscellaneous Public 21 Theft (from building, auto, etc.) - 2 Arrests 6 Citations (parking, etc.) 2 Runaways 2 Fires 2 Medicals 5 Assaults - 2 Arrests 1 Possession of Marijuana - 1 Arrest 1 Found Property 1 Stolen Recovery 3 Property Damage Accident 6. THE GROUND ROUND 2545 County Road 10 There were 22 calls for service at the Ground Round Restaurant during the reporting period. The incidents reported show a sharp increase over past years and we feel that this, again, is a direct result from our meetings with them and their new management and concerning the problems that they have had in the past. Out of these 22 calls, we did have four (4) arrests for assault and theft from auto and various incidents and we have noted an increasing eagerness on their part, also, to work more closely with us and not attempt to handle all problems in their establish - ment by themselves. 2 Citations 4 Property Damage Accident 2 Lost Property 2 Public Assist 1 Miscellaneous Public 3 Assaults - 2 Arrests 3 Theft from Auto 2 Arrests 1 Stolen Purse 1 Disorderly Group 2 Auto Theft 1 Suspicious Person t -4 7. THE HAPPY DRAGON 5532 Brooklyn Boulevard There were no incidents reported at this establishment and we have no reason to believe that there will be any future problems. There has been one slight change in management, but this doesn't appear, in any way, to be a problem to the Police, Department. 8. THE HOLIDAY INN 1501 Freeway Boulevard There were 82 calls for service at this particular establishment which did also have 'a change in the Innkeeper very early in the year, at which time we had a very productive meeting with'' him and some of his assistants. At that time, I feel we did establish in his mind that we were eager to assist and this has been borne out in his eagerness to call us. The 82 calls did result in nine (9) arrests for various offenses such as theft, vandalism, stolen auto recoveries, warrants, DWI (Driving While Intoxica- ted) and disorderly conduct. In the past, they have depended very heavily on their rivate security to handle alot of problems which they have been P Y turning over to the Police Department more quickly and, as a "result, have been dispensing of the problems more quickly. Later in the year, they did have fewer calls or fewer reasons for calls to our department. Of the 82 calls, there were only two (2) calls which could be directly liquor related. One was a Driving While Intoxicated call and the other a Disorderly Conduct call, both of which did result in an arrest by the Police Department. 27 Miscellaneous Public 18 Thefts - 1 Arrest 6 Lockouts 2 No Pay 5 Vandalism 1 Arrest 2 Trespassing 4 Stolen Recoveries - 2 Arrests 6 Medicals 2 Warrant calls - 1 Arrest 1 DWI - 1 Arrest 1 Robbery 4 Burglary 1 Citation 1 Property Damage Accident 1 Disorderly Conduct - 2 Arrests 1 Warrant - 1 Arrest 9. THE LEMON TREE 5540 Brooklyn Boulevard There were 17 calls for service to the Lemon Tree Restaurant during the reporting period and out of these 17 calls, we did have two (2) arrests. These were for auto theft. There were only two (2) calls which could be considered liquor related, one was a disorderly conduct and one was a domestic. The Lemon Tree management also met with us and spent quite a bit of time going over our policies and our handling of incidents at their restaurant. We feel that this meeting, also, was very productive in nature z . -5- 2 Bomb Threat 4 Miscellaneous Public 1 Found Property 1 Auto Theft - 2 Arrests 1 Suspicious Party 1 No Pay 1 Property Damage Accident 1 Sprinkler Problem 1 Disorderly Conduct 1 Lockout 1 Domestic 1 Bike Theft 1 Robbery 10. THE LYNBROOK BOWL - 6357 North Lilac Drive There were 78 calls which were generated by this particular liquor es- tablishment which is also a 24 -hour a day, 7 -day a week, bowling estab- lishment. From these 78 calls, there were, in fact, five (5) arrests and there were only four (4) directly liquor related calls generated. The Lynbrook Bowl, also had a change in management this year and the manager who took over is a life long local resident who seems to be very eager to work with us and has done everything in his power to make sure that we are kept abreast of everything occurring and has, in fact, called on us for assistance many times when he was simply in doubt himself and " it appears that he is running a very excellent establishment. 5 Citations 2 Warrants - 1 Arrest 12 Vandalism - 1 Arrest 28 Theft from Auto 4 Disorderly Conduct - 2 Arrests 2 Property Damage Accident 1 Auto Theft 1 Recovered Stolen 1 Open Hydrant 1 Filing False Report - 1 Arrest 10 Miscellaneous Public 2 Found Property 3 Lockout 1 No Pay 3 Lost Property 1 Fire 1 Medical 11. NINO'S RESTAURANT - 6040 Earle Brown Drive This liquor establishment has generated only five (5) calls for service in the reporting period, none of which were liquor related incidents. This department has never had any problem with the management of this particular establishment in the past and sees no reason why this good record will change in the future. a -6- 3 Alarms 1 Theft from Auto 1 Miscellaneous Public 12. THE PIZZA FACTORY Humboldt Square, 6816 Humboldt Avenue North During the reporting period, this establishment had only nine (9) calls for service, only one of which could be considered liquor related This establishment also had a changeover in management and the new manager has spent quite a bit of time working with the Police Department in trying to work well with us and has also instilled in his employees the need for a., good working relationship and I feel this is reflected in his overall management of the establishment. 3 Miscellaneous Public 3 Theft from Auto _1 Drunk Woman 1 Trespass 1 No Pay 13. TACO TOWNE - 6291 Brooklyn Boulevard There were only three (3) calls for service during the reporting period none of which were liquor related and I feel that the department has al- ways enjoyed a good working relationship with this establishment and we have no reason to believe that the same cooperative relationship will - not. continue. 2 Miscellaneous Public 1 No Pay 14. OFF SALE ESTABLISHMENTS The Police Department does not maintain a separate file for Off Sale es- tablishments, but in a cursory check of our general files, we have found no problems associated with any of the Off Sale establishments in Brooklyn Center concerning their sale of nonintoxicating malt beverages. Overall, we find at this time no reason, from the Police Department's point of view,; for a review of any of the liquor licenses in the City.
